BNP to distribute 5,000 illustrated books on Peruvian heroes at Military Parade

The Peruvian political party BNP plans to distribute 5,000 illustrated books free of charge on July 29, 2026, during the Grand Military Civic Parade. The publication, designed in a foldable format, aims to educate attendees about Peru's historical figures.

These books will highlight the stories of national heroes and heroines, including prominent figures such as José de San Martín, a key leader in Peru's independence movement. The initiative also recognizes "Las Rabonas," women who accompanied armies during the wars of independence, and Túpac Amaru II, an indigenous leader who led a rebellion against Spanish rule.

The BNP's initiative seeks to connect the present-day celebration of national identity with the historical struggles and achievements of Peru's past. By providing these illustrated stories, the party aims to foster a greater appreciation for the country's heritage among parade attendees, particularly younger generations.
